ABOUT

In other words, cyclists. Or more specifically, mountain bikers. Or to put an even finer point on it, riders who can ride. Ride long and ride hard. Those who consider the first 15 miles the warmup to the main event. And who lead with their chin when the trail points down.

We’re talking about the gunners. The Jedi. Riders who can straight up BALL. The fringe of a fringe…of a fringe of a fringe of a fringe.

So what is the Vail Outlier Offroad Festival (presented by the awesomeness that is SRAM)?

It’s a gathering of this lean and densely muscled tribe against a backdrop perfectly suited for their activity of choice.

The Vail Outlier Offroad Festival is;

A lift-served (2 of them!) consumer-facing demo offering all of next year’s bikes and gear from the industry’s best brands. Slated for September 28-30, 2018, Outlier’s date provides media and consumers with the very first look at all the new bikes and gear set to debut at the Interbike tradeshow, scheduled just 8 days earlier.

Based in Vail, Colorado, Outlier is also built to be affordable to the brands themselves, helping more of them attend in the process. More brands, more bikes, more consumers, more hotlaps.

Enduro, you say? Yep. 4 flowy stages served over two days with lift served transfers.

New for 2018 is our mixed terrain road/gravel ride. Fully supported, the Outlier Brevet (presented by SRAM Force) treats(?) riders to stunning views along the road less traveled.
